摘要
背景:糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)是一个公认的血糖控制指标;最近的研究表明其在癌症预后中的潜在作用。了解糖尿病女性合并子宫内膜癌(EC)术前HbA1c水平与淋巴结转移(LNM)之间的关系,可以提高预后评估和治疗策略。目的:本研究旨在评估术前HbA1c水平对合并EC的糖尿病女性LNM的预测价值。材料和方法:对2010年至2021年在三级转诊医院接受子宫内膜样型EC手术的233名糖尿病妇女进行回顾性分析。收集的数据包括人口统计信息、空腹血糖、HbA1c水平、超声检查结果和肿瘤特征。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)分析评估HbA1c水平对LNM的预测能力。进行单因素和多因素回归分析以确定LNM的独立危险因素。结果:术前平均HbA1c水平为7.03±1.37%。HbA1c≥7.26%的临界值预测LNM的敏感性为73.7%,特异性为72.3%,曲线下面积(AUC)为0.781 (p < 0.001)。HbA1c水平与子宫内膜厚度(r = 0.231, p < 0.001)、原发肿瘤直径(r = 0.173, p = 0.008)、糖尿病病程(r = 0.203, p = 0.002)有显著相关性。多因素分析确定HbA1c水平(优势比(OR) = 2.621, 95%可信区间(95% CI): 1.722-3.987, p < 0.001)、淋巴血管间隙受累(LVSI) (OR = 19.193, 95% CI: 5.805-63.458, p < 0.001)、体重指数(BMI) (OR = 1.095, 95% CI: 1.010-1.188, p = 0.029)和糖尿病病程(OR = 1.019, 95% CI: 1.001-1.301, p = 0.039)是LNM的独立危险因素。结论:术前HbA1c水平可作为伴有EC的糖尿病女性发生LNM的重要预测指标。HbA1c临界值≥7.26%提示LNM风险增高。这些发现强调了血糖控制在降低癌症进展风险和改善糖尿病合并EC患者预后中的重要性。将HbA1c监测纳入术前评估有助于定制个性化治疗策略,以获得更好的结果。
Preoperative hemoglobin A1c as a predictor of lymph node metastasis in diabetic women with endometrial cancer.
Background: Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a well-established marker for glycemic control; recent studies suggest its potential role in cancer prognosis. Understanding the relationship between preoperative HbA1c levels and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in diabetic women with endometrial cancer (EC) can enhance prognostic assessments and treatment strategies.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative HbA1c levels for LNM in diabetic women with EC.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 233 diabetic women who underwent surgery for endometrioid-type EC at a tertiary referral hospital between 2010 and 2021. Data collected included demographic information, fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c levels, ultrasound findings, and tumor characteristics. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the predictive power of HbA1c levels for LNM. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for LNM.
Results: The mean preoperative HbA1c level was 7.03 ±1.37%. A cutoff HbA1c level ≥7.26% demonstrated a sensitivity of 73.7%, a specificity of 72.3% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.781 for predicting LNM (p < 0.001). Significant correlations were found between HbA1c levels and endometrial thickness (r = 0.231, p < 0.001), primary tumor diameter (PTD) (r = 0.173, p = 0.008) and duration of diabetes (r = 0.203, p = 0.002). Multivariate analysis identified HbA1c level (odds ratio (OR) = 2.621, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.722-3.987, p < 0.001), lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) (OR = 19.193, 95% CI: 5.805-63.458, p < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (OR = 1.095, 95% CI: 1.010-1.188, p = 0.029), and duration of diabetes (OR = 1.019, 95% CI: 1.001-1.301, p = 0.039) as independent risk factors for LNM.
Conclusions: Preoperative HbA1c levels serve as a significant predictor for LNM in diabetic women with EC. A cutoff HbA1c level ≥7.26% indicates higher risk of LNM. These findings underscore the importance of glycemic control in reducing cancer progression risks and improving the prognosis of diabetic patients with EC. Integrating HbA1c monitoring into preoperative assessments can help tailor personalized treatment strategies for better outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
